Being the unique snowflake that I am, I'd say Capital One's custom credit card images are the perfect way to tell every cashier "IM A NERD AND I ENJOY RECKLESS SPENDING" in the most efficient way possible. But I'm not exactly sure what image I should use. My original idea was to use a picture of a fat can of "The Pickles" from Deadly Premonition, but all the images I find are extremely low resolution (which makes sense, considering they were extremely low resolution even in the game itself).
I'm not exactly an art person, and don't have any art friends, so I'd be willing to pay someone to draw me a hi res copy of some deadly pickles, but I was wondering what you guys thought. Should I stick with the pickles? Should I get another Endurance Run reference instead, like Funky Student? Or perhaps some other obscure inside joke? Before you suggest something, here's a list of Capital One's guidelines for custom images. The short version is, it can't contain anything that is obviously copyrighted by someone else (although something sufficiently obscure might squeak by), it can't be something stolen (if you had an image in mind, I'd need the owners permission to use it), and it should be work safe. Also, the image should probably be wider than it is tall. You know, rectangles and all.
Here's an image of the card with a solid black background as a reference, if that helps. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
